>I had forgotten about this, but yes, I was using AMD I think in '90, maybe '91 and reading the Wikipedia article about FDIV it came to light in '94, by that time I am quite sure I was using AMD as I had closed my own computer store (I think I closed it in the end of '93) and was working for a publishing company (started in march '94), for which I bought 3 K5 when they came out (I just looked and they came out on '95)

Still mot as interesting as the architecture wars were over - 6502 vs. Z80 vs. 8088, 8086 vs. 6800, 80386 vs 680XX - when 80386 linear extended memory model in OS/2 and NT obliterated Motorola based machines, although Amiga, Mac and ST had distinct areas where they were years ahead of normal PCs
